Answer to Question 1

Answer: B, C

Interventions appropriate for the client with the nursing diagnosis of Impaired Gas Exchange due to RSV bronchiolitis include monitoring vital signs, pulse oximetry, and breathing pattern, and administering oxygen. Daily weight would be appropriate for the nursing diagnosis of Impaired Nutrition: Less than Body Requirements. Weighing diapers would be appropriate for the nursing diagnosis of Fluid Volume Deficit. Providing frequent rest periods would be appropriate for the nursing diagnosis of Activity Intolerance.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Activity intolerance is a problem because of the imbalance between oxygen supply and demand. Increased levels of fatigue may indicate the disease is more severe. Cardiac output is not compromised during an acute phase of bronchiolitis. Pain is not usually associated with acute bronchiolitis. Tissue perfusion is not affected by this respiratory disease process.
